Equipment

Ingredients
  

salad ingredients

  • 8 oz snap peas - finely sliced
  • 2 cups halved and finely sliced cucumber from about 1 medium to large cucumber
  • 1.5 cups finely sliced carrots this was from 1 bunch of thin carrots for me
  • 1 bunch scallions - finely sliced about 1 cups worth
  • ½ cup finely chopped cilantro

dressing

  • ⅓ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 cloves minced or pressed garlic
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons miso paste
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha can sub red pepper flakes
  • 1 ½ tablespoon maple syrup can sub honey but I prefer the flavor of maple in this dressing
  • tiny pinch salt taste and adjust to your salt preference
  • pinch black pepper

steak

  • ~1.2-1.3 lbs steak I used sirloin, bring it to room temperature*
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Add all dressing ingredients to a bowl and mix together until smooth. Depending on how thick your tahini is you may need to adjust the water level.
  • Pat steak completely dry. Coat each side with salt and pepper.
  • Bring a skillet (preferably cast iron or stainless steel) to high heat and coat with oil. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes on each side**. Remove from skillet and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut steak into cubes.
  • Add all salad ingredients to a large bowl, add in steak and toss with dressing. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

*Let steak sit out for 20 or preferably 30 minutes so it comes to room temperature.  I like to take mine out of the fridge, salt it to pull out the water, dry it and then resalt it.
**If your steak is super thick you may need to pop it in the oven for 1-4 minutes at 400 degrees.
